To identify the specific sentence in an excerpt from "The Gospel of Wealth" by Andrew Carnegie that suggests handouts to the poor would do more harm than good, it's necessary to have the text in question. Generally, Carnegie argues that while he believes in aiding the poor, he also emphasizes the importance of self-reliance and the dangers of dependency that can arise from direct handouts. Look for language that discusses the negative effects of dependency or the idea that providing without fostering self-improvement can harm both individuals and society.
